jim293 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think that is an awesome idea. I wish more companies would follow suit. I only buy American cars. I am glad to see you doing this. Keep the jobs and the money here in the United States. Matt@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_pappy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Great news Adam. I really love selling the Cyclo, it's a really great machine. I have a new one I use for demos and clinics, but my other was made in 1959 and is still going strong. You're buying a tool you can hand down to your kids.

LDM Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Is there a 120v option? I dont have 220 available You probably don't have a 50 Hz power system in your house either. I think Adam just inadvertently copied the stats from the export version of the Cyclo instead of the domestic version. Cyclo's website shows the 115V version: http://cyclotoolmakers.com/Model_5Pro.php Same stats, just setup for the 115V/60Hz that we have here instead of the 220V/50V which is commonly found in Europe and other parts of the world.

Mark L Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 This is highly disappointing, not the fact that Adam's won't be carrying the FLEX anymore, but the fact FLEX has sold out to the Chinese. I just purchased my first ever FLEX right after Christmas, a brand new FLEX PE14-250 rotary polisher and I absolutely love it! After years of using a Makita 9227C, the FLEX is much lighter and easier to control. It's a real shame, it's getting harder and harder to buy non-Chinese tools. Even Snap On has more Chinese made stuff versus USA made. I just hope, for FLEX's sake, they still manufacture their tools in Germany and don't adopt the classic Apple line of "Desgined in California, Made in China' BS.

Schwag one Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yet another reason we all should be proud to purchase Adams products Team Adam's and chas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganSRT8 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Proud of Adams for sticking to its core values, hard to find a company that will do that in todays world. I do hope though they find another polisher to pick up, as someone who has 4-5 polishers at a time in his arsenal, the cyclo just needs to be supplemented. Definitely will keep backing Adams for this bold move, the flex was the backbone for a long time.

Feets31 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I have all three and haven't used two of them yet. With the weather patterns in northern Indiana this winter I may never get to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrippinF150 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Do you guys plan to start offering a different brand polisher other than the cyclo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 If a manufacturer starts making a unit in the USA Matt, we will consider it! For now, the Cyclo achieves the finish that we are looking for! If at one point, we get into body shop products, we may introduce a rotary buffer. That is not currently in the plan, however!

Adam's Polishes at your local body shop, now that's a thought. We could maybe live in a world where picking up your car from a fresh repaint covered in holograms won't be the norm.

BluedogGMC Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Not to get too far off subject but I purchased a PC last February and was wondering about warranty from Adams. I don't remember filling out any special form from the site. Is there a way to check and make sure that I am covered under the Adams lifetime warranty? It still shows in my "Order/Billing History". Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECaulk Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Adam I'm glad to see you stick to your guns. I was disappointed when I heard that Flex was bought out by a Chinese company. Team Adam's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckster Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 This is great news!! This now means my Flex is now a collectors item and is worth more money than I paid. I admire Adam for staying true to the "Buy American Made" movement and I will pay more of my hard earned money to support American workers...... "IF" I can find a American Made product.
